A LICENCE, NOT A SALE

You are not selling anything, and nothing stops working the day after

A licence grants defined, bounded permission. The company keeps its equity, keeps ownership of the underlying data, and carries on using every one of those systems exactly as it does today.

WHAT YOU KEEP

The list of things this does not touch is most of them

  • Your equity. There is no stake, no cap table entry, and no investor gaining a say in how the business runs.
  • The underlying data. Licensing it does not transfer ownership, and you keep using it exactly as you do now.
  • Your systems. There is no migration, no integration to maintain, and no standing access for us to your stack.
  • Your customers and your operations. Nothing about how the business serves them changes.

WHAT CHANGES, AND WHEN

One payment in, and nothing else moves

  • 01

    Scope gets agreed

    Six questions first, then a review. By the time anything is signed, both sides know exactly what the licence covers.

  • 02

    The data is prepared

    Anonymization is handled before anything moves. Identifying fields are stripped as part of preparing it.

  • 03

    You are paid

    Typically $100K to $2M, Net 30 to 60, once the data has been approved, shared, and anonymized.

  • 04

    You carry on

    The business, the systems, and the underlying data are still yours and still in use. Nothing is switched off.

QUESTIONS ABOUT OWNERSHIP

What owners ask about what they are giving up

Do we still own the data afterwards?

Yes. You keep the business and you keep ownership of the underlying data. The licence is defined and bounded.

Can we still use it ourselves?

Yes. Granting a licence does not remove your own access or your own right to use the record however you like.

Does Polyshares get ongoing access to our systems?

No. The licence covers a defined slice of operational data. There is no standing connection to your stack.

What happens to the data afterwards?

We anonymize it, build it into data sets, and supply AI labs. Use is bounded by the licence, and we do not disclose which labs take which data.
